The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Help on Building of a map I already created.

Drawing from a lot of inspiration from posts on here and following some guides here I made this map. Using cloud filters and stuff I managed to make this map, however Im kinda at a loss of how to expand upon it properly both in realism of the land and making it fit into the other map. I would love any input and any help and advice this is my first map. I used photoshop btw.

What you posted is a nice start for a map, but from your text it seems you are talking about two maps. Are there two maps that you want to integrate?

In this map here, there is one thing that almost instantly caught my eye: the folds in your paper texture. These marks should, obviously, happen where the paper was folded. But I just cannot figure out where this paper was meant to be folded. You should look into that.

Another thing is your rivers. They almost disappear in your map and would profit from a little more emphasize.

Last point I found important is your text. In my opinion, the bold, black font you use is too dominating. You could try to either reduce the opacity or change it to something more subtle. If you want something fancy, there are a lot of free caligraphic fonts out there. Persoanlly, I would go for a simple serif font.

The layout and composition of your map are really good all in all, and I like the subtle colour schema you used. It will be interesting to see how you will go on.

Lastly, I see that you combined different mountain brushes with different opacity and different light orientation. You will need to look into this to make them more consistent. I like these mountains and usually I use one or the other but not both at the same time.
